A child's education is up to the parents span, style, align - Opinion - Jacksonville Daily News:

"We can offer all the lip service and put all the money we want into our schools, and nothing will remain improved for long without responsible parents who support education at home. If education is not held up in the home as one of the most important aspects of life, your school system and your child’s opinion about education will reflect your failure to do so.

If your school system is a failure, you can be assured that the majority of students in that school come from dysfunctional parenting; and parents are directly responsible for that.

You are also directly responsible for the quality of the schools in your community. It is an apparent yet little known fact that parents are responsible for their child’s education. School systems are meant to enhance your instruction of your children — they’re not meant to be a replacement for it. Are you supervising your child’s education at home daily or are you neglecting that responsibility?"
